Why do paper cuts sting so much?
Today, I didn't realize that I had a paper cut until I put hand sanitizer on AND IT REALLY STUNG A LOT !
After that, it started itching.
I know why it stung when I put hand sanitizer on.
I'm asking why it feels more irritating than a big scab?
Nobody really knows why paper cuts sting so much, but there are a few good therioes.
- The first culprit would be our hands' nociceptors - the nerve fibers that send touch and pain messages to our brain, particularly the somatosensory cortex. The hands hog more nociceptors than the arms, the legs, or the stomach, as a way to protect us.
- One frequest claim is that paper is porous, and therefore, a better host to bacteria than the clean surface of a razor or a knife. Cut yourself with paper, and you'll leave behind debris and baceria to sting you.
- The flexible, relatively dull edge of paper means paper cuts never go very deep. But while a dull, shallow cut sounds less painful, pain specialists say it's worse. The microscopic damage hits the most sensitive nerves, too. The concentrated nerves on the hand have a very low threshold to activate and send a signal to the brain. Meanwhile, larger nerves, which send dull aching pain, are tucked safely away deeper in the flesh. So, since a paper cut is shallow, and unlikely to bleed a lot, it will more likely sting, instead of produce a dull throb. Unfortunately, the shallow cut only brings more bad news. Because paper cuts are shallow, they are less likely to bleed, clot and seal up the wound with a scab. That means the raw nerves are open to the air, and keep sending messages of pain to the brain.
